So hypothetically let's say the world is going to end. What would be your bucket list of things you failed to accomplish but always wanted to do? Here's some of mine: Snort cocaine off a strippers ass. Punch the past 2 presidents in the face. Learn Chinese. Learn Japanese. Learn Klingon. Drink every type of beer in the world. Drive a motorcycle. Drive a motorcycle naked. Have sex in a see-through elevator on the Vegas strip. Shake a robots hand. Play a lead roll in a major movie. Take a dump in every state. Eat the last twinkie on earth.. just to name a few.

You've never driven a motorcycle? That's crazy to me. Maybe it's from growing up in a rural area, but I just figured that was something everyone has done at least a few times.

This week, I've thought about infiltrating the Westboro Baptist Church and destroy them from the inside.

Other than that, I want to skydive, build a custom motorcycle from scratch, buy a house w a decent detached workshop, finish my degree and have the Deftones play my graduation party, have 1-2 kids, get back to the Louvre and have more time to see it all, pay my car off, get a 6 pack, finally get to legendary status of home brewing (wine) and learn how to properly use nun chucks. Oh and do all the above in a different state. Ready for a change from Texas

Unfortunately, no. My dad had a Harley when I was a kid so I rode bitch on one a few times, but I've never driven one myself.

And what's up with Westboro Baptist Church? I read something on FB the other day about them but glanced over it. From what I gather though, they just seem like a bunch of radical religious nutcases.

It's not about regrets. It's about wishing you did something that you haven't yet (whether you were too scared at time, couldn't afford it, or what have you..) Granted, most of my list is just a joke. Here's something simple and honest, I've never surfed nor snowboarded, I'd like to do them both.

These are really nice, shouldn't be too hard to cross that off.

I'm still upset I could never make it to one of the Johnny Walker tastings they used to hold. (...maybe they still do, not sure.) They give a shot of Blue for free to each attendee at those things.

I always wanted to record a little six or seven song demo/EP...
...and be a local opening act for a show or two.
